Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 6 tbsp Ice water
- 6 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and sliced)
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 tsp Ground nutmeg
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 0.75 cup Chopped walnuts
- 0.5 cup Packed brown sugar
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter (softened)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
To make the crust, combine 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt in a large mixing bowl.
Cut in 1 cup of cold, cubed unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add 6 tablespoons of ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together.
Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
While the dough chills, prepare the apple filling. In a large bowl, combine 6 cups of peeled, cored, and sliced apples with 0.5 cup of brown sugar, 0.25 cup of granulated sugar, 0.25 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 0.25 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
Set the apple filling aside to allow the flavors to meld.
For the walnut streusel topping, mix 0.75 cup of chopped walnuts, 0.5 cup of packed brown sugar, and 0.5 cup of all-purpose flour in a separate bowl.
Add 4 tablespoons of softened unsalted butter to the walnut mixture and use your fingers or a fork to combine until the mixture is crumbly.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled pie dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie pan and press it into the edges.
Trim any excess dough, leaving about a 1-inch overhang, and crimp the edges for decoration.
Pour the prepared apple filling into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the walnut streusel evenly over the apples.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.
Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
